PLEASURE ISLAND WORKSHOP20-23 JUNE 2013

Jocelyn Bain Hogg will hold a 3-day workshop where partecipants will be inspired by his book “Pleasure Island” to learn how to develop a reportage on the capital of clubs and nightlife.
During the same days Berlin will host two of the Summer biggest events: Fête de la musique (21 June) and Christopher Street Day (22 June).

The Project “Pleasure Island”
Pleasure Island documents the people and performers, the music and the madness, of the Ibiza Rocks summer festival. It is both a study and celebration of modern pleasure.
Ibiza has long been the favoured destination for pleasure seekers since the Romans selected it as their hedonistic hotspot; and it’s the summer home from home for ravers, hippies, beer boys, clubbers and celebrities alike. When The Stones and Bowie arrived in the early seventies, the dirty, sexy world of rock ’n’ roll fell in love with the White Isle, and it’s been coming back for more ever since.
Now the Ibiza Rocks festival, established in 2005, is bringing the new generation of rock stars to the island – bands like the Kaiser Chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, Reverend And The Makers, and the Klaxons – and the party has got even bigger and better.
Pleasure Island is the definitive photographic guide to Ibiza and twenty-first century partying.
